Defining a custom role



When creating a role there are 3 main elements.

Role Label

The user-facing name of the role. You will see the role’s label when applying it to a user, so be clear and accurate.

Description

A detailed description of what the role permits. This description will appear on the role selection screen when changing a user's role, so we recommend being as descriptive as possible in order to prevent accidentally giving a permission to a user they should not have.

Permissions

This is a search field that will allow you to search for your custom made permissions or a pre-built permission. There is no limit to the number of permissions that you can assign to a role. The permission General Allowed is the permission for standard Employee Access, and we recommend starting roles with this permission and building up Allow permissions to open access for the role.

Please note that a Deny permission will always override an Allow permission. Read more about how Deny permissions always beat Allow permissions here.
